The Terror: Infamy tells the often overlooked story of Japanese American internment and asks what it truly means to be an American. From 1942 to1945, more than 145,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadians were forced from their homes and into internment camps by their respective governments, simply because of where they or their ancestors were born. Their story is one of perseverance in the face of injustice.

“The Terror: Infamy” is co-created and executive produced by Alexander Woo (“True Blood”) and Max Borenstein (“Kong: Skull Island,” “Godzilla”). Woo also serves as showrunner. View previously released trailer here.

The series stars Derek Mio as Chester Nakayama; Kiki Sukezane (Lost in Space) as Yuko, a mysterious woman from Chester’s past; Cristina Rodlo (Miss Bala) as Luz, Chester’s secret girlfriend; Shingo Usami (Unbroken) as Henry Nakayama, Chester’s father; Naoko Mori (Everest) as Asako Nakayama, Chester’s mother; Miki Ishikawa (9-1-1) as Amy, a Nakayama family friend; and renowned actor, producer, author and activist George Takei (Star Trek) as Yamato-san, a community elder and former fishing captain. Takei also serves as a consultant.

THE TERROR: INFAMY

Character Descriptions

Chester Nakayama — Chester is a nisei, or US-born JapaneseAmerican,from Terminal Island, California. Chester finds himself caught between the insular Japanese community of his upbringing and his life as an all-American22-year-old. He’s a proud, stubborn young man who hopes to one day leave his “tiny island” and travel the country as a photographer for LIFE Magazine. At the time of the first episode, Chester’s relationship and community life are both under duress from extreme, life-altering circumstances. Chester’s response to these events leadshim on a treacherous journey that teaches him what it means to be an American, and a man.

Yuko Tanabe — There’s not much to say about Yuko Tanabe, not much that we know at least. But her role is central in the fate of Chester and the rest of the Terminal Islanders.

Luz Ojeda — Luz is a Mexican-American who lives in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, with her brother and widowed father. She goes to Los Angeles Community College as a nursing student where she meetsChester, who is taking photography classes. As she mentions in episode one, her family’s long standing intention was for her to become a nun, a fate she barely resisted until she met Chester. Her relationship with Chester is a small act of rebellion at first, but Luz’s eventual journey compels her to find a deep resolve and heroic courage within.

Henry Nakayama — Henry, Chester’s father, is an issei, or Japanese immigrant to the US. Though he would say he’s “just a simple fisherman,” Henry, one of only six JapaneseAmericans from the community to own a car, is a popular figure on Terminal Island. He came to America To better the lives of his family, which he did, but he suffered a lifetime of tears along the way. Nevertheless, Henry loves this country, though his faith in America will soon be tested.

Asako Nakayama — Asako, Chester’s mother, came to Henry as a “picture bride” —the wife of an arranged marriage orchestrated from Japan via photos sent to America. Asako deeply respect the traditions of Japanese culture, but with that reverence comes a bent toward superstition. As tensions run high both at home and in the community, Asako tries her best to serve as the glue that holds everyone together.

Nobuhiro Yamato (Yamato-san) — Yamato-san is the 80-year-old elder statesman of Terminal Island. One of the first JapaneseAmericans to move to Terminal Island as a fisherman, the stories of his former glory live on through his current role —serving as the salty raconteur and honorary officer of Henry’s ship. Yamato-san’s age brings with it a connection to the old traditions of these Japanese immigrants, a connection that becomes increasingly important as the community is torn apart.

Amy Yoshida– Amy is one of the Yoshidas, the closest family friends of the Nakayamas on Terminal Island. Like Chester, she sees herself as more American than Japanese —she’s even going out with a hakujin (white person) from the nearby naval station when the story begins. Amy’s patriotism is tested as the narrative progresses, and she’s faced with increasing injustice from the government and those who wield its authority.

“The Terror: Infamy” is an AMC Studios production produced by Scott Free, Emaj Productions and Entertainment 360. In addition to Woo and Borenstein, Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, Alexandra Milchan, Scott Lambert, Guymon Casady and Jordan Sheehan also serve as executive producers.
